Attn: Sir/Madam,

ExxonMobil Corporation was formed in 1999 by the merger of two major oil companies,
Exxon and Mobil. Both Exxon and Mobil were descendants of the John D. Rockefeller
corporation.In 1998, Exxon and Mobil signed a US $73.7 billion definitive agreement
to merge and form a new company called ExxonMobil Corporation, the largest
company on the planet.After shareholder and regulatory approvals, the merger was
completed on December 10, 1999.The merger of Exxon and Mobil was unique in history
because it reunited the two largest companies of John D. Rockefeller, Standard Oil
trust, Standard Oil Company of New Jersey/Exxon and Standard Oil Company of
New York/Mobil, which had been forcibly separated by government order nearly a
century earlier.This reunion resulted in the largest merger in US corporate history.
ExxonMobil is the largest non-government owned company in the energy industry and
produces about 3 percent of the world's oil and about 2 percent of the world's
energy.

ExxonMobil Corporation provides voluntary contributions and donations of cash, goods

programs targeted to worldwide health issues because it believes that good health is
a spring-board to opportunity, achievement and development.Health support falls into
several categories, the fight against global health pandemics, support for medical
centres/hospitals, health education and health care delivery, health and environment,

So How Come?

My photo
I have two blogs at the moment - Here Be Dragons which is devoted to rental scams primarily sourced through Craigslist although the proliferation of free ad sites has widened the hunting grounds. Many additions come from other sources (ie: blogs/anti-scam sites/online community ad sites) or are provided by people who want to share their experiences. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch is for copies of scammail that I find in my mailboxes ~ sometimes I can't resist the odd acerbic comment but for the most part I post 'em because the more that people do, the fewer fools they get to gull. Dunno what to say about me that would be very interesting ~ I'm a granny who reads, gardens and crafts as the mood strikes me. :) I don't particularly care for the social predators on this planet and this blog is part of my way of saying so.
